Some types of helicopters are hybrid and have wings. This one in the video,....and by the way it came straight down, didn't have any gliding capability..
Manipulation of the collective using a lever will generally allow you to land without power. This allows you to use autorotation (as referenced above) to safely land in the event of engine or tail rotor failure.
The problem is when the main rotor has a critical failure.
